One of the most sought after commodities in the male psyche, behind the everlasting pursuit of the fairer sex would have to be a pair of massive guns.

Jump Rope Without the Jumping!

Posted in Full Body, Fitness Discussions, Core Training on the November 10, 2009

It’s seems as if fitness guru’s all over the world have invented just about everything there is to be conceived when it comes to exercise. There are ab blasters, butt busters, chest boosters and back smashers. Do we really need any other innovations beyond what we already have? Well, yeah, why not? I think honestly, without preaching, many of the fitness machines that are forged today are useless, but modifications in old favorites can be a breath of fresh air in a proverbial land fill world. The variation here is a new method of the traditional jump rope. It can be done with a normal jump rope but can be elevated to a heavy rope and works more on strength than the usual cardio aspects. Although it is something new, it really isn’t. These are patterns that advanced jumpers use anyway, but the focus has been placed more on the different patterns rather than the actual jumping. This I have to say is actually pretty cool and I will be giving this a serious try. It also helps that it’s coming from David Weck, the actual inventor of the BOSU ball. Check out the video and see if it’s something worth giving a whirl, literally.

Possibly The Best Online Trainer Ever?

Posted in Fitness Discussions on the August 19, 2009

To quickly (in 500 words or less) sum up Steve Turano’s contribution to the fitness world and all the people he has touched since starting his long time Youtube series, would be doing him a great disservice. He has quietly cornered the market on informative fitness, lifestyle, exercise and nutritional videos on the internet. Accomplishing this all without ever leaving the comfort of the pesky chair he sits in on every video. Imagine that. I trainer people and sweat until I’m wearing a virtual wet-suit, and still don’t get half the enlightenment across that he manages in a two minute video. This is the bestowal he selflessly gives to all his viewers. Cut and dry, raw honest truth, with a chaser of knowledge equaling that of an Ivy League Professor. If this isn’t enough, he dares to offer even more! Now he is giving a limited membership away to his BodyPerformanceTV website. He is giving this to all of his Youtube subscribers. Now that I’ve laid it on thick enough to triple wax coat a suburban, really, thanks for all of the info you’ve given to us all Steve. The video below will give more details , so check it out and enjoy more free things from one of the internet’s great trainers.

The Truth About Abs, The Real Truth!

Posted in Diet/Nutrition, Fitness Discussions, Core Training on the August 6, 2009

While suffering from an occasional bout of insomnia and letting the late night TV lull me into a mindless trance, I’m almost amazed at the gall of these infomercials shown at these ungodly hours. The nerve to actually still make the claims that they do in 2009 is just astonishing. Abs in 6 minutes, the ab roller, the ab swivel chair, and my personal favorite, electro-abs. The cajones it takes to out right lie to people and mislead individuals into sales that they can never actually gain from is just unbelievable. As many times as I have heard the truth told to people about how washboard abs work, is a fraction compared to the machines that are invented that claim to give perfect abs with only 10 minutes of use a day. This video below will hopefully put an end to the confusion, but then again, knowing that the ab machine market is a multimillion dollar industry, it won’t change anything. Enjoy the video anyway if anyone is listening…..
